Belle and Sebastian singer Stuart Murdoch has collected his online writings in a new book entitled The Celestial Café. It will be released generally in 2011, but you can follow this link to order the book today.
Here’s more about the book: “The Celestial Café is a collection of the diaries and thoughts of Stuart Murdoch, singer in the band . They stem from the particularly un-rock and roll years of 2002-2006, and are subsequently very light on the subjects of drug taking, orgies and general debauchery. Mr Murdoch would like you to know that right off the bat. He doesn’t even want you to lift the book if that’s the kind of thing you’re after. Don’t even look at it! It’s a poncy sort of book. Let’s get that straight from the start.”
Belle and Sebastian have been making music since 1996. You can read Murdoch’s online diary at the band’s official site. (Via Pitchfork and Matt Staggs)
